Yeah we can tell you don't listen to much music 

no need to shade him imo, most people don't spend too much time searching for music that they didn't hear a snippet of, it's normal

Because the GRAMMYs take popularity in coderation (a lot) when they vote, and Björk isn't a hit maker at all.

What surprises me the most is that Bowie only has one GRAMMY since he's a big name and he's considered as one of the most iconic singers of all time

She was big in the 90s tho. Debut was so fine. *Chef's kiss*

But around Post-Homogenic era especially are huge for her.

She have 15 Grammy noms altogether. But I guess she doesn't bother campaigning for them?

I think Bjork is one of those artists that is hard to 'get'. I've tried listening to her music and even though I can appreciate her artistry, I don't like her music at all and just don't get it. I think that's the case with most people for why she isn't as popular.

I want to like her but I just don't know how to listen to her music and I can't understand her vision.

But I'm also thinking about Beck and how his music is a bit weird and unusual compared to what you hear on the radio, and he has won multiple Grammy's.

Agreed. Vespertine may be my favorite album of all time. It's an unforgettable experience

Bjork is popular though (especially in the 90s), and she's been nominated 15 times. The recording academy obviously acknowledges her impact. But for some reason, there has been questionable Grammy winners taking the spot of more deserving, more culturally impactful artists.

A lot of artist outside of the english speaking countries are snubbed so this could be a reason too

hold on she doesn't have any?

did she even have nominations over the years?

[StrawberryBlond 14,820]

She's not American, that's the #1 reason. Almost all Grammy winners are American, nominees too. That's the biggest piece of bias that goes on at this ceremony, not race like so many people think. It doesn't help that her music has never resulted in huge hits, especially once her early years were over and the academy does take this into consideration. And her music appeals to a very niche market. I know I've always struggled to like her work, she's always come off as very pretentious and try hard to me and like she's just weird for the sake of it. Only she could make a break up album and have it composed of bizarre sound effects, ear-splitting vocal techniques and lines like "this wild lion doesn't sit in this chair" in the thickest Icelandic accent with broken English even though she's been basically fluent in English for years. Yeah, it's not hard to see why she doesn't win. She probably gets nominations almost completely based on critical reception and not much else.
